Melanocytes harboring oncogenes can reside in the skin for decades before eventually escaping cellular senescence to promote melanoma. The Chipuk laboratory is interested in understanding how mitochondrial shape changes may contribute to the escape and transformation processes. Here, a human melanocyte induced to undergo senescence with BRAFV600E was stained for HSP60 (red) to visualize mitochondria. Images courtesy of Joshua Kaminetsky, Chipuk Laboratory.
